The Apprentice (2024)

The basic message of this movie is that Trump was molded into what he is today rather than being born that way. And to that I say OK -- well who wasn't? If the only people in your life are immoral, you will also probably be immoral. Though there are exceptions to this rule of thumb, Donald Trump is far from exceptional. He seems to be a black hole of need for wealth, women, and attention who was ripe for recruitment into a life of shortcuts in order to fulfill his needs.

It held my attention and had great performances. I'm just not sure if it tells us anything new about the man.
